Chris Jericho and Adam Cole will battle it out in an unsanctioned match at AEW Double or Nothing. However, with only Roderick Strong by his side, it would have been difficult for Cole to deal with the entire Jericho Appreciation Society (Chris Jericho, Daniel Garcia, Matt Menard, Angelo Parker, & Jake Hager).

Therefore, to even the odds, he made a phone call to a legendary wrestling personality and asked him to join forces with him. And on the May 24 edition of AEW Dynamite, he revealed the person is none other than the ECW legend Sabu.
